The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) has announced that its coming to Scotiabank Arena on Feb. 16 for a game between Toronto and Montreal.
Scotiabank Arena will be the third NHL venue to host a PWHL game this season. The game has been dubbed the “Battle on Bay Street.”
“We’re thrilled to be bringing PWHL hockey to Scotiabank Arena – a fantastic venue for the latest chapter of one of pro hockey’s fiercest rivalries,” PWHL Senior VP of Hockey Operations Jayna Hefford said in a press release.
“Whenever Montréal plays Toronto, emotions are high and the intensity rises. Montréal’s first-ever visit to Toronto is the only game on our schedule that night, so all eyes can be focused on our great players,” she continued.
Earlier this month, the PWHL saw record-breaking attendance numbers for their inaugural game on New Year’s Day. The league said nearly three million people tuned in to watch the game across its three Canadian national broadcast partners.
The women’s league is anticipated to break new records during their game next month.
Tickets for the “Battle on Bay Street” go on sale on Feb. 1 at 4 p.m on Ticketmaster.
